Budget Assumptions Presentation

Port Financial Update
Commission Retreat, June 4, 2020

Overview
COVID-19 has significantly disrupted major Port business segments:
Airline and non-aeronautical activity at SEA
Cruise business
NWSA is also at risk due to economic impacts on trade flows
Initial financial planning and analysis have focused on 2020 impacts
and responses
Planning horizon is now being extended to 2021 amidst significant
uncertainty

April Federal Reserve Minutes Highlight
Uncertainty and Risks
In addition to weighing heavily on economic activity in the near term, the
economic effects of the pandemic created an extraordinary amount of
uncertainty and considerable risks to economic activity in the medium term.
One area of particular concern is what should happen in the event that
coronavirus infections should surge later in the year. The minutes noted that
the "more pessimistic" outlook for a rebound was probably as likely as the
baseline forecast for improvement.
In this scenario, a second wave of the coronavirus outbreak, with another
round of strict restrictions on social interactions and business operations,
was assumed to begin around year-end, inducing a decrease in real GDP, a
jump in the unemployment rate, and renewed downward pressure on
inflation next year.

"Make no mistake, we have a long way to go. This virus will be with us
for a long time."
- World Health Organization, April 2020

Assessment of Port Businesses Based on
Primary Risk Impacts
Virus         Economy
Aeronautical      Significant    Moderate      Aeronautical cost recovery provides some long-term
businesses                                     protection to Port revenues; Airlines average 9-11
months liquidity to manage economic
downturn; significant downsizing expected along
with potential bankruptcies
Non-aeronautical  Significant    High           Small businesses are particularly vulnerable
businesses
Cargo            Limited      High          Underlying competitive risks remain
Cruise             Significant    Moderate      Historically recession resistant
Conference       High         Moderate      Low margin business with variable cost structure
Center
Other            Varies       Moderate     Varies depending on type of business

Planning Scenarios
Staff has prepared three scenarios with ranges of potential outcomes. All are
reasonably possible
Aviation
Baseline  assumes enplanement recovery begins later this year, 2021 still weak but
significantly better than 2020
Scenario 2  assumes that gradual enplanement recovery begins in early 2021
Scenario 3  assumes enplanement weakness well into 2021, then a gradual recovery begins
Non-Aviation
Scenarios vary full-year reductions in revenues versus 2020 budget forecasts
There are other scenarios that could be better or worse; these provide a
reasonable range to inform decisions
Scenarios include assumptions about Airport traffic, cruise activity, NWSA
performance, stresses on other non-Airport businesses

Key Financial Metrics
Long standing policies designed to provide resilience in the face of
temporary adverse conditions:
Minimum Target Operating Fund Balances
Airport Development Fund  10 months of O&M expense
General Fund  6 months of O&M expense
Revenue Bond Debt Service Coverage (annual net income/debt service)
Airport  1.25x
Non-Airport Businesses  1.8 x
Tax Levy has no specific minimum balance
Port-wide debt service coverage requirement is also included in bond
covenants and is evaluated by credit rating agencies

Pre-Covid Financial Metrics Scorecard
2019 Year End  2019 Target      Result
Ending Airport Fund Balance            $307M       $314M          Met
Airport Coverage                        1.68x         1.25x        Exceeded

Ending Non-Airport Fund Balance       $156M        $45M     Exceeded; 3.5x
Non-Airport Coverage                  1.33x         1.8x         Not met
Airport coverage supported overall Port-wide coverage
Non-airport fund balance provides liquidity for debt service despite low coverage

Airport Financial Objectives for 2020-21
Cash flow  maintain debt service coverage > 1.25x to avoid debt
service surcharge to airlines
Liquidity  Rebuild ADF target balance of 10 months of O&M (likely
need more going forward)
Minimize airline annual deficit for 2020 (airlines seek zero)
Moderate growth of airline costs in 2021 (airlines seek flat rates)
Support non-airline tenants and customers
Optimize TSA, FEMA and CARES Act grant reimbursements
CPE likely not an important consideration during recovery

Non-aeronautical revenues decline 60% in base case, tracking closely the reduction in passengers
Assumes 2021 O&M budget is 10% lower than 2020 approved budget (modeling assumption)
2021 Aero revenues increase due to increasing capital costs (primarily debt service).
Scenarios 2 and 3 require charging airlines for debt service coverage in rate base to achieve 1.25x

Issues and Concerns
Airlines seeking zero net year-end deficit for 2020
Requires using 100% CARES grant in 2020 and reducing costs ~$45 million in 2020
Projecting significant increase in airline payments for 2021 under all
scenarios, while airlines push for flat rates
Increasing debt service for such projects as IAF and NSAT
Lower PFCs increases debt service to be recovered in airline rate base
With lower activity, this means higher rates
Risk of customers not able to repay deferred 2020 rent/fees
Risk of bankruptcy could impact cash flow
Hertz filed for bankruptcy on May 22
Alaska and Delta considered lower risk
Need to revisit capital plan and funding plan for 2021  2025
2021 budget must support safe environment for passengers and workers
Cost of implementing FlyHealthy@SEA - TBD

NWSA
NWSA is the largest source of income for non-Airport businesses
Approximately 70% of NWSA revenue is derived from fixed payments
such as minimum annual guarantees
NWSA recently provided an updated scenario for 2020  this is
included in the Baseline
Pos staff added the following scenarios for 2021:
Baseline - 2021 revenues are flat relative to 2020
Scenario 2  revenues are 10% lower than the Baseline
Scenario 3  revenues are 20% lower than the Baseline

Non-Aviation Capital Funding is at Risk


General Fund cash above minimum target is a CIP funding source in the Plan of Finance
Debt service not covered by operating cash will draw down the General Fund balance
General Fund Balance may be at or below its minimum by 2022
No ability to add new revenue bond debt to fund capital investments until coverage is above
1.8 times, reducing capital funding capacity

Tax Levy
There is no minimum target balance
Tax levy pays G.O. bond debt service
Estimated Maximum levy in
2021 is $108.7 million (42% increase)              Plan of Finance estimated an
additional $200 million of G.O. bonds
to fund non-Airport capital
investments
$150 million of that will be now be in
the form of a bank line of credit to
provide liquidity
Use of that line of credit for
operations or Airport support will
reduce G.O. bond funding for capital
Plan of Finance assumed full use of
the Tax Levy over the next five years

NOTE: Scenarios are based on the Budget as of year-end and do not reflect changes due to COVID-19

Issues and Concerns
Likely inability to pay non-Airport debt service from revenues; cash balances will
be drawn down to pay debt service
Inability to issue revenue bonds and draw down of General fund cash will have a
significant impact on the ability to fund the CIP
Risk that bankruptcy of one or more major tenants will reduce or delay payments
Weak economy could further erode the NWSA's competitive position
Economic or other concerns could put tenant's exercise of T-5 Phase II option at
risk
A slow cruise recovery will impact Maritime revenues and potentially delay the
need for a new terminal at T46 (Port pays approximately $2 million a year net to
NWSA)
Use of non-Airport resources to support other needs will further reduce CIP
funding

Tools to Manage the Next Planning Phase
Reduce operating expenses
Reduce/delay capital investments
Increase tariffs and fees
Increase tax levy
Utilize Non-Aviation resources to support the Airport (but not the
reverse)
Strategic use of new bank facility

Limitations of Translatable Documents

PDF files are created with text and images are placed at an exact position on a page of a fixed size.
Web pages are fluid in nature, and the exact positioning of PDF text creates presentation problems.
PDFs that are full page graphics, or scanned pages are generally unable to be made accessible, In these cases, viewing whatever plain text could be extracted is the only alternative.
